Load data

If you have downloaded the DESeq2_DEG.txt file with wget:

data <- data.table::fread("DESeq2_DEG.txt")
data$GeneID <- substr(data$GeneID, 1, 18)

If you like to donwload the file in R now:

data <- data.table::fread("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ycl6/GO-Enrichment-Analysis-Demo/master/DESeq2_DEG.txt")
data$GeneID <- substr(data$GeneID, 1, 18)

Define significance threshold

up.idx <- which(data$padj < 0.05 & data$log2fc > 0) # FDR < 0.05 and logFC > 0
dn.idx <- which(data$padj < 0.05 & data$log2fc < 0) # FDR < 0.05 and logFC < 0

dim(data)

## [1] 55385     5

length(up.idx)

## [1] 383

length(dn.idx)

## [1] 429

Define significant genes

all.genes <- data$GeneSymbol
up.genes <- data[up.idx,]$GeneSymbol
dn.genes <- data[dn.idx,]$GeneSymbol

head(up.genes, 10)

##  [1] "Axin2"  "Hnrnpd" "Kcnn3"  "Mapk7"  "Agpat3" "Sema6b" "Efnb2"  "Il16"   "Ltbp1"

Alternatively, if you only have Ensembl gene ID

all.genes <- data$GeneID
up.genes <- data[up.idx,]$GeneID
dn.genes <- data[dn.idx,]$GeneID

Decide the sub-ontology to test

BP: Biological Process
CC: Cellular Component
MF: Molecular Function

ontology <- "BP"

Decide test algorithm

The default algorithm used by the topGO package is weight01, it is a mixture between the elim and the weight algorithms. Possible choices includes:

classic
elim
weight
weight01
lea
parentchild

algorithm <- "weight01"

Define the statistical test used

For tests based on gene counts:

Fischer’s exact test (statistic = "fisher")

For tests based on gene scores or gene ranks:

Kolmogorov-Smirnov test (statistic = "ks")
t-test (statistic = "t")

For tests based on gene expression:

globaltest (statistic = "globaltest")

statistic <- "fisher"

Set outfile prefix

outTitle <- paste0("topGO_GO-", ontology, "_ORA_", algorithm,"_", statistic)
outTitle

## [1] "topGO_GO-BP_ORA_weight01_fisher"

Prepare input data

We use all the annotated genes (all.genes) as the “gene universe” or geneList and the differentially expressed genes (up.genes and dn.genes) as our genes of interest. So, we will define the geneList as 1 if a gene is differentially expressed, 0 otherwise

upList <- factor(as.integer(all.genes %in% up.genes))
names(upList) <- all.genes

head(upList, 30)

Add gene symbol to result table

The GenTable function only provide the significant gene count for each significant GO term, here we will add the gene symbols to the result table

# Obtain the list of significant genes
up.sigGenes <- sigGenes(upGOdata)
dn.sigGenes <- sigGenes(dnGOdata)

# Retrieve gene symbols for each GO from the test result
up.AnnoList <- lapply(up.tab$"GO.ID",

              function(x) as.character(unlist(genesInTerm(object = dnGOdata, whichGO = x))))

up.SigList <- lapply(up.AnnoList, function(x) intersect(x, up.sigGenes))
dn.SigList <- lapply(dn.AnnoList, function(x) intersect(x, dn.sigGenes))
